Pros

I had been working at a small company that was acquired by PE and integrated into one of their existing research facilities. The labs were nice, we had flexible work hours, decent benefits. They sponsored optional volunteer days where we spent a paid work day volunteering in the community.

Cons

They gave us fewer vacation days than we previously had before being bought out and it was a longer schedule to accrue more time.

Thank your for your feedback and I am glad your experience coming from an acquisition was good. We have received other feedback about our vacation policy and I am happy to include this in our leadership discussions.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
